CAS-Fridays New Release - Chanukah

It's the last day of the new CAS-ual Fridays Stamps October Release peeks! The stamps are officially in the store and ready for you to add to your stash! There were four new stamp sets released this month. Today we're showing Chanukah!

This set has beautiful script sentiments with Star of David accents, and the images work perfectly with the Bubble Box Fri Die layered tag set.

I stamped a background of "Happy Chanukah" in shades of blue at a diagonal across a panel of white card stock. I did this the "old fashioned" way.. drawing pencil lines and using a stamp a ma jig. My stamping tool wasn't big enough to stamp this at a diagonal.

I stamped the sentiment with a stamping tool inking up different parts of the stamp with different colors - light to dark to give it an ombre look. I stamped it several times as I added more color. A stamping tool makes this effect easy.

I wrapped gold twine around the base of the card and then adhered the label with adhesive foam tape. I added some Hannuak Fri Die stars cut from gold foil, and gold glitter paper with gem centers for some extra bling.

The traditional blue and gold look beautiful together.

A Kept Life

When I left my full time career job my husband started calling me his "kept wife". The name of my blog is a play on that expression, because now I capture moments in photographs, and create in color in my "kept life". I hope you enjoy - thanks for stopping by!
